One of my friends got an email sent from me recently and he tried to reply
and his machine showed this is a virus called:
WORM. BAGLE.GEN-1 or something like this.

Now his machine is very slow.

And I also noticed my machine has some strange behaviour started from
Tuesday, the TaskManager(Ctrl-Alt-Del) not really quite work. And when I
shut down my machine, it says the Epfckpmf.exe is still running. I found
this file's last modified date is the date I resume to work this Tuesday
morning (I have been for holidy for 2 weeks and came back on Tuesday). One
thing I remember is on Tuesday morning, the Windows update program prompted
me to update my Win2K Professional and I selected update it and it caused me
problem from then.

Was I infected by this virus too ?
